No, Yelp, I don't want to write reviews for the dozen or so businesses that I've posted pictures for but not reviews. I'd rather review a fast food restaurant that I've posted zero photos for.
Savvy Sliders is seriously on the come up in these parts; they seem to be sprouting up everywhere, including this prime Midtown real estate where Checkers and Church's Chicken have previously failed. Maybe the third time is the charm as the SS drive thru stays stacked up and I often see patrons inside, too. I've haven't been inside since the spot has gone Savvy but I've hit up the drive thru numerous times and I'm impressed with how they keep it moving.
Service is always professional to a T, almost too polished! I almost wanna be like "c'mon you have to hate this job and the pains in the ass that roll through here sometimes, right?" but I'm not sure how that would go over. At any rate, compared to a lot of places around here it is a breath of fresh air but it seems too good to be genuine and I guess that makes me a little uneasy!
As for the menu I feel like it's almost like a Culversization of sliders. Yes, that's a word now, cause I just made it one. Savvy's is a bit more spendy for what you get than a lot of fast food but it definitely seems more quality and a bunch of the usual purveyors have hiked up their prices recently, anyway. The sliders are shaped differently than what I'm used to, tall with little width as opposed to the other way around. They're like Luigi to the usual Mario sliders. The Simple Savvy and the Angus beef sliders hit the spot and so does the ribeye steakhouse. The falafel is a solid vegetarian option, bringing some heat in the spice department. Speaking of spice, the Cajun dusted fries are the way to go if you ask me though the lemon pepper sometimes tickles my taste buds more if I'm in the mood. The chicken is respectable but nothing stand out and the chicken fingers beat what they have at a lot of places. The Savvy switch up is a brilliant option if you can't decide what you want or want to sample two different sliders. I'd have to say the cod sliders are the only real dud on the menu. I'm a seafood guy and they're just not cutting it. Seems like it's a lot of breading and air pocket for what little fish meat you get in there, too.
Combos don't come with a drink but they always ask if you want one. And I like that they come in a cardboard box shaped like a little pizza box. It's neater and easier to get in and out of in your ride than the usual greasy fast food paper loaded up with stuff you gotta dig blindly for. Savvy's has some winning tweaks on the usual fast food formula and I'm here for it. read more
